Clash between two communities in Bihar's Darbhanga, 6 arrested
Darbhanga (PTI): Members of two communities allegedly pelted stones at each other in Bihar's Darbhanga district, officials said on Monday.
The incident took place at Kewatgama Pachiyari village under the jurisdiction of Kusheshwar Asthan police station when a group of people were returning after a religious gathering on Sunday evening, they said.
The situation was immediately brought under control and no one sustained any injury in the incident, said Alok, Superintendent of Police (Rural-Darbhanga).
Police have so far arrested six persons in connection with the incident, he said, adding that a case has been registered against 45 people.
"The incident took place when people belonging to another community started pelting stones from rooftops at people returning from the Kalash Shobha Yatra. It is reported that a minor scuffle also took place. The incident was reportedly triggered by a rumour that a hen was beaten with sticks. Police immediately reached the spot and brought the situation under control. No one sustained any injury in the incident," the SP told PTI.
The SP said, "The incident was recorded by the area Chowkidar. We have identified the troublemakers from both sides. A case has been registered against 45 people….and six people have been arrested. Now, the situation is completely under control….additional forces have been deployed in the area."
The situation is being closely monitored by senior officials to ensure communal harmony in the area, he added.

Bengaluru airport introduces AI-based system to enhance safety at vehicle-aircraft intersections
Bengaluru: Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has introduced an integrated smart airside safety system at Kempegowda International Airport to improve operational safety at key intersection zones.
According to The Hindu, the system has been designed to enhance safety at Cross Service Roads (CSRs), where aircraft and ground vehicle movements intersect.
According to BIAL, the system integrates AI-based computer vision, automation, and centralised monitoring to manage right-of-way movements and reduce the risk of human error.
“CRSs are among the most sensitive areas within airport operations, requiring precise and seamless coordination between aircraft and ground vehicles. Traditionally, right of way protection at these intersections relied on manual or semi-manual inset light activation, creating dependencies on human intervention, increasing the risk of delays and limiting operational visibility,” TH quoted BIAL as saying.
The new system uses real-time detection of vehicle movement, risk assessment, and automated signalling. AI-enabled cameras identify potential conflicts and trigger automated inset light signals to ensure aircraft priority. Normal operations resume once the area is confirmed clear.
“Based on these detections, the system triggers automated inset light activation to protect aircraft right‑of‑way and restores normal signalling once the intersection is confirmed clear. A centralised monitoring and analytics platform digitally logs all events, strengthening governance, compliance, and operational control,” BIAL said.
By embedding technology into operations, the system creates a data-driven separation layer between aircraft and ground vehicles, significantly reducing human error, especially during night and low-visibility conditions.
“Precision-led signal activation improves traffic flow, minimises unnecessary stoppage and enhances turnaround efficiency. It also establishes a scalable foundation for predictive safety analytics, enabling trend analysis, peak-hour optimisation, compliance mapping and risk forecasting to support continuous improvement and stronger airside governance,” BIAL said.
